Autumn 2026 Winners
Hello All! This week has been a whirlwind! I am deep in the thick of preparing for the coming school year as the Librarian as well as the K-8 Music Teacher, AND this is Advertising Deadline week AND Winner Announcement week AND Reviewer Deadline week. It has been crazy because on top of all of this, I am helping out with a Baby Shower this coming weekend for my sister, as she will be having her first baby in October. I swear that I blinked and a week had elapsed. I am thankful that my inbox is filling up, and I appreciate your patience as I do my best to get back to everyone. I hope all of your weeks have been full of fun things as well! Now, without further ado, our TOP 6 AUTUMN 2026 COVERS! I have also included our Writing Contest Winners as well, just in case you missed the announcement on social media last week.
May Your Day Be Bright & Your Reading Be Epic!
